Make more memories

We all have our favourite footy memories, and we all want to create more.

Cold, wet Saturday arvos standing at the back of the grandstand with Dad
watching your team get up. Kick-to-kick after the siren. Swapping footy
cards at school.

Cancer is Australia's biggest killer but more than a third of cancers
can be prevented. Make sure the men in your life are around to create
more footy memories in the future.

This September, have the chat. Have a conversation about how they can reduce their risk of getting cancer.

Cut your cancer risk

Get checked

We're here to help

Cancer Council Victoria is proud to announce Jack Riewoldt as an official Ambassador in a new partnership with the AFL Players' Association.

Following the discovery of a spot on Jack’s back, it was through the
persuasion of his partner that encouraged Jack to see a doctor and get
the spot checked out. After some tests were conducted, Jack was informed
the spot was a melanoma that needed to be removed.

This experience has made Jack much more SunSmart and passionate about
raising awareness on how to reduce the risk of getting cancer. A third
of cancers are preventable - find out how you can Cut Your Cancer Risk.

All-Australian and North Melbourne champion Scott Thompson
is a proud Ambassador for Cancer Council Victoria this September. Scott
tragically lost his father Don to Bowel cancer in 2010.

Bowel cancer is the second most common cause of cancer death in
Australia, yet is highly curable if found early. Screening initiatives
like the National Bowel Screening program help detect bowel cancer
early. Taking the test is simple and you can do it at home.

Scott wants to encourage open conversations with those around him to get
tested and screened for a range of cancers. Find out more here.

Carlton Football Club defender Sam Rowe
was already into the 2012 season when he discovered a small lump. He
successfully underwent treatment for testicular cancer and is now proud
to volunteer his time with Cancer Council Victoria to share his
experience.

While the physical toll on his body was extensive, Sam knows that those
close to him suffered a lot of stress as well. Cancer Council has a
range of services to support people and their loved ones through a
diagnosis, treatment, and beyond. Call our Helpline (13 11 20) or visit
your local Cancer Council website for more information.
